Site stats - January 2008

Greetings from February. All of you who are still stuck in January as you read this - come on over, the water’s fine!
There were 152 new entries here at Trollhattan Saab in January 2008, including much about the Detroit Auto Show and the Saab 9-4x BioPower concept.
By a long margin, the most commented on [...]

Saab Pride - Viggen that makes me weep style

It’s time for you another entry in the Saab Pride of Ownership Competition, kindly sponsored by the good gents at Elkparts.
As you might guess from the title, what we have here is a Saab 9-3 Viggen that’s making me cry with it’s sheer beauty. Oh, how I’m missing mine when I see images like [...]

Trollhattan Saab and the Geneva Motor Show

It’s with some sadness that I have to announce that Trollhattan Saab is quite likely to go unrepresented at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

As many regular visitors to Swade’s blog know I’m the resident “treehugger” at TS. Now, let me temper that statement by pointing-out I’m [...]

Saab and safety - an indictment on GM that it’s not recognised

There’s so much news around at the moment that I’m having trouble fitting it all in within one day. The post count could be way higher than what it is right now.
One thing I couldn’t fit in yesterday was sent to me by Tim S and mentioned by Ted in comments - the Consumer [...]

Saab 9-1 - unofficially official

I heard from a Saab dealer this morning that they’d received an invitation to the Geneva Auto Salon in March to see a premium compact vehicle concept from Saab.
I guess that’s about as good a confirmation as you can get of the Robert Collin stories in Aftonbladet earlier this month.
This is going to [...]

US Saab dealership closures continue

There were four dealership closures/mergers in the north-eastern United States in the December-January period.
Now the west coast closure has started, with Saab of Santa Monica closing its doors on February 1.
Scandinavian automotive news rocks the Westside late today: Saab of Santa Monica, one of just three remaining Saab dealerships in LA County, is fated to [...]
